The Environmental Fluctuations of some Bioactive Nutraceutical Compounds in Zilla spinosa Inhabiting Arid Habitats

Abstract: Zilla spinosa is one of the dominated woody perennial shrubs widespread in the Egyptian Red sea coastal desert, belonging to family Brassicacea. Z. spinosa is used as a folk medicine and for heating by local people. Z. spinosa inhabits arid habitats exposed to adverse climatic changes which influence the production of the bioactive natural products. The natural secondary products have significant importance for plant acclimatization to the arid habitats beside their significant practical application in medicin… Show more

“…The deficit in cardiac glycosides in D. tortuosa growing in salt marshes might be attributed to low moisture content (0.58%) and high EC value (0.54mS/cm). Soil moisture and nutrients may participate in the content of cardiac glycosides found in plant (Khattab et al, 2017). Cardiac glycoside also play a role in plant adaptation to different environmental conditions (Sahin et al, 2013), and the formation and accumulation of cardiac glycosides is influenced by different environmental conditions such as soil minerals, osmotic stresses (drought and salinity), and season (Waterman & Mole, 1989).…”
